Bill > SCR123

This concurrent resolution strongly condemns President Trump's decision to rescind the longstanding federal policy that prohibited Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from conducting immigration enforcement actions in sensitive locations. These sensitive locations, which include schools, healthcare facilities, places of worship, shelters, and public demonstrations, have traditionally been considered safe havens essential for community trust and individual wellbeing. The resolution argues that removing the protected status of these locations creates fear among immigrant families and deters vulnerable individuals, including U.S. citizen children, from accessing critical services like medical care, disaster relief, and education. By condemning Trump's policy change, the New Jersey Legislature reaffirms the state's commitment to providing equal access to essential services for all residents, regardless of immigration status, and highlights the devastating consequences of such enforcement actions on immigrant communities.
